about

Love is Back in Vogue was recorded last summer at The Smash Repair Hotel in Brunswick and is the second single from El Fuko's forthcoming sophomore album, Blue Flower.

lyrics

I don't wanna tell you
your blue is magnificent
though I know it reminds you
of those times before
that remind you of eons
when you were the stars
you still are
I just hope you know
that's how I knew you
like the sun to the moon
you can laugh at me man
but love is back in vogue
and your human is stylish
beautiful
you seriously are
part of the landscape
of all of the paintings
of 1894
I don't wanna tell you
your blue is magnificent
cause it is
though I know when you feel
your mind presents an image
of a man that isn't me
and that's okay
it's so painful to feel
and be
but I'm telling you babe
what we had was real
cause I've lived for years
in that middle space
pulled out by the angels
just to meet your face
and let me tell you
as in the wind
there is no difference
I cried when I saw it
and hid my tears
like a child
afraid to express his blue
afraid of being hurt
afraid of breath
I was blue
and wasn't I right
made to feel naive
like a child
but that's okay
and that's alright
you don't have to believe
in the way I live
just know it's a choice
so I'll just drink more wine
while you pretend that you don't feel
and that love is dead
(love is not dead)
it's all we have
you're being seduced
by Baudrillard and apples
your blue isn't old my darling
I hate to say it's written all over your face
so all I can do is pray
that you let the sun touch you softly
in the same way that the sky blankets the stars
cause that's who you are
and that's what you are
and that's what you deserve
blue flower
you were so special to me
blue flower
so special to me
if only you could have seen
I suppose in your future self
you will experience that day again
and know that for a moment we had found the Garden of Eden
so I go back to Egypt
to look around
with my new set of eyes
and my broken heart
I had from a friend
the flowers are blooming in the East this time of year
to feel less pain
and be free again
I buy a pencil and some paper
and pack my bag
and book a train ticket
and leave
again
to sketch new flowers
that I'm yet to see
and that keep me here
how I was before
in the Pyramids of Egypts
the call you gorgeous
and fill your heart
with angel dust
and blue flowers
cause that's who you are
and that is what love is
